Mistress of Magic
Magic and love intertwine in this tale of romantic suspense by bestselling author Heather Graham.
Regina Delaney loves making children happy. Playing Dierdre Dinosaur for adoring audiences at the theme park she started with her twin brother Max gives the local kids—and Reggie—countless hours of innocent pleasure. But make-believe morphs into suspicion of murder when Max's ex-wife vanishes...and Max becomes the prime suspect.
Reggie is determined to uncover the truth and clear her brother's name. So is Wesley Blake. The ex-military intelligence officer believes in his best friend's innocence—which means someone has set Max up. Gathering intel is the easy part. Resisting Max's gorgeous sister is something else. But soon Wes has a more critical mission: stopping a diabolical plot and protecting Reggie from someone who has marked her for extinction.

Magic indeed!
Heather Graham has never disappointed and she is maintaining her perfect record with this one. Magic, intrigue, greed, tremors murder and a salacious slanderous press make for a wonderful who done it. Love conquers all though. The book in print and Audible form make a perfect pair for your enjoyment of this tale.

I liked this book clear till the ending. It was a good mystery that had some twists and turns but the conclusion confused me a little. It gave little to no explanation how one of the players (Rick) was involved. The Epilogue also wasn't that great for me. Super cheesy and not up to the same writing as the rest of the book.

Not terrible, but not for me. Weak characters & the leads’ romance was super rushed & contrived. Fairly boring overall. Rolled my eyes a lot. Lots of dumb comments about “the magic” - I was expecting a paranormal book, but instead it was vague references to “the magic” of...everyday life? Dinosaurs? The amusement park? Idk, it was corny.

A war buddy of her twin brother and big stock holder in the park. Why are things going bad and shots fired? Read and find out in this very different book by Heather Graham!

This was pretty awful. Pretty weak storyline using every cliche possible. Usually like Heather Graham, not this time. I'll go back to reading her Krewe of Hunters books and skip the basic romance ones.

It kept you guessing who was in on it.
I like her books. They keep you wanting to know more. She keeps you guessing.
I would recommend her books to everyone who Loves a Great mystery and romance all rolled into one.

This book felt very choppy and rushed to me, and I struggled to really pay any attention. It took me several days to get through, and in the end I just skimmed a lot 'til the end. I can't say I really cared for any of the characters. The premise of the theme park was fun, but in the end it just got a bit old.

Fun
A dinosaur theme park, a missing woman, and some unusual events make for an exciting contemporary romantic suspense story.
